Abstract excerpt
Minisatellites are arrays of tandemly repeated DNA sequences which occur at thousands of locations in the human genome. They are frequently hypervariable with respect to allele length as a result of high rates of complex and incompletely understood recombination-based germline mutation events that alter the repeat copy number. MS1 is one of the most variable minisatellites so far isolated from the human genome....
